corallife skimmer

[bv_reefer]

after hearing how much it overflows and how much fine-tuning it needs i think i'll just save up and get something better, the one i'm currently looking at is a red sea prizm pro hang-on skimmer which is supposedly rated for 200 gallons but i'm sure you can easily divide that by 3, anyone have any good/bad experiences with these~?

Also garbage.

I'm betting there will be some good stuff after MACNA.

Ive used one...their as useless as a sea clone. Are you buying a hang on or a sump model? If you can afford it then buy a Euro Reef or something even better.

yeah they are also worthless... if i were to do it again.. id for sure just run a piece of garbage for a few more months and save up the extra $$ (telling myself im saving up for something allows me to justify it more.. rather than dipping into the savings then replenishing :P) for a beauty of a skimmer...

i've narrowed my search down to a tunze nano DOC protein skimmer-9002 >http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...t_ID=tz-ps9002

the other option is the aqua c remora nano hang-on skimmer >http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...uct_ID=ps-acre

bv_reefer, go with the Aqua C Remora.

Many people on this board have used them on small tanks and the only times I've seen them being sold is when people are upgrading. It's a pretty decent skimmer especially if you can find a used one for ~100 bucks.

You can also overdrive the Remora with a larger pump (350+ gph) without fear of it overflowing.

thanks for all the great replys, i'll start looking for a used aqua c remora nano
